The Jazz Butcher - The Gift of Music :: Zero G Sounds

 Nice Jazz Butcher posting today from Twilight Zone and this long out of print compilation of the first two EPs and extra tracks expanded into an album is well worth having if you're a fan ( you should be!) 

The Jazz Butcher - The Gift of Music 1988 - Zerosounds





We visited Jazz Butcher when we lost Pat Fish last October at the untimely age of 64 so this is a welcome memorial to him above the others as I said at the time. From Northampton though the band formed in my home town here in Oxford they dug a particular niche for themselves.  The Jazz Butcher's figure alongside a lot of other British Eighties bands like many of the quirky witty knowing bands like The Lilac Time or Theaudience, Scritti Politti,Young Marble Giants or Ballboy and singers like Robyn Hitchcock, Stephen Duffy or Roddy Frame and that early Britpop surge.

Anyhoo enjoy, I think you will
